Link number to code

(1/3) > >>

Juels:
I have a large number of photos tagged with the rider number e.g. '123', '234' etc.

I would like to link this number to the code generator in order to get the name, race group etc. so that number 234 becomes: 234, Bob Jane, New Your Marathon, Olympic Distance

Is this possible?

The photos are already tagged with number e.g. 234

Thanks
Niels

Hi Niels!
The feature you are looking for is "Codereplacement".

You need to have a look here for a description how it works: http://wiki.camerabits.com/en/index.php?title=Speeding_Up_Captioning

Hi Sven,

Thanks - I am familiar with the standard use of codereplacement and are using this all the time. I have however just started using a program that can tag the photos based on the BIB number that the program will identify on the photo. The program will add what it see e.g. '123' and place this code in the keyword field as '123'.

I would like to link '123' with the code replacement file e.g. '123' becomes 'name', 'club', 'event' or whatever I decide in the text file.

I assume that I will have to extract the IPTC field to a spread sheet and then link the numbers to the codereplacement file? e.g. as in a database.

The number recognition program that I have found is in beta test but seems to be working OK - check this link for more information. http://www.racenumbertagger.com/
 

Sven:
Hmmmm...

Can you configure the program to add your codereplacement identifier to the beginning and end of the BIB number?

Juels:
No - there is no room for modifications
